Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 760 The Attitude of Other Members of the Montague Family
She jumped outta bed, did a quick wash-up, and headed downstairs to grab a bite.
But even breakfast was a mess. Catherine called mid-bite, spewing all kinds of nasty words.
Selena hung up after just one sentence.
When she left the house, her car barely hit the busy downtown intersection before two cars boxed her in.
A knock on the window, and when she rolled it down, there was Greer.
Greer had given her some meds to deal with Raymond before, and she'd only hit him up once after getting the cash. Now, he was clearly losing his cool. "Mr. Montague," Selena greeted with a smile.
Greer, though, just glared. "Ms. Cooper, you haven't forgotten what I told you to do, right?"
"How could I forget? But I've been sick lately, really out of it. I'll go replace Raymond later and keep following your orders," Selena replied.
Greer narrowed his eyes, not above using her family as leverage. "Ms. Cooper, if you keep stalling, I can't promise your family will be safe."
Selena stayed quiet; she didn't even know where her family was.
Her relatives in Ridgefield were all dead. Erin and Brian's bodies were still unclaimed, their ashes still at the hospital.
Seeing her silence, Greer thought she was scared and sneered even more. "Don't let me down, or squashing you will be like squashing a bug."
With that, his car sped off.
Selena's car was still parked, and soon a horn blared from behind.
With both Catherine and Greer on her case, she had to spill everything to William, or she'd be in deep trouble when they made their moves. Plus, Catherine was already a nutcase.
But when she got to the Montague family villa, she ran into Grace.
Grace had rushed over after hearing about William's health tanking and didn't expect to see Selena.
She'd also heard about Raymond and Richard fighting over her, so Grace's face was sour.
"You're not welcome here. Beat it," Grace snapped.
Selena didn't budge, so Grace had her bodyguards step up. "Penny, you must be here about last night. The Montague family isn't a place you can just waltz into. Leave now, and I won't make it hard for you."
After last night's news, Grace was disgusted with her, wondering where she learned all those tricks to seduce men.
She didn't want to keep mocking her, so she just pushed the door open and went inside.
The two bodyguards gestured for Selena to leave.
Selena stood her ground and called William.
The phone rang forever before he picked up.
"Selena."
"Grandpa, how's your health?"
William was thrilled to hear from her. "Good, very good."
But then he started coughing hard.
All the things Selena wanted to tell him about Catherine suddenly felt impossible to say. She couldn't worry him.
She opened her mouth, planning to say a few more nice things before hanging up.
But William seemed to sense something was up and cautiously asked, "Are you in some kind of trouble?"
Selena was about to speak when she heard a woman's voice in the background-it was Grace.
"Father, who are you talking to?"
"Selena."
"Mia's been crying all day, throwing stuff, and she's still a wreck. She keeps demanding you get justice for her." Talking about Mia, William's face turned cold, and he sighed into the phone. "Selena, let's talk another day." "Okay, Grandpa, take care," Selena replied.
After hanging up, William tossed the phone aside and asked Grace, "Mia should be out of the hospital by now, right?"
"She's out. I just brought her home, but she's been crying non-stop, and her whole face is swollen. Father, Mia says this is all Selena's fault, that Selena's the reason for everything she's been through," Grace said. "Impossible!" William slammed the table. "What does this have to do with Selena?!"
